Today CTA joined educators across the country for National #RedForEd Day! Red For Ed, a grassroots movement started by teachers and parents, is way to stand up for public education in America.

We asked CTA members, Why do you wear Red for Ed?

I believe my students deserve access to school counselors! —  @1latinastar

For the students and communities I serve! They deserve our best. —  @msmmeg

Because teachers are professionals and should be treated and paid accordingly. —  @inkabisgotclass

Because I believe that my fellow teachers and I have the most important job in our society, and the profession gets less respect than it deserves. —  @scrumtrillescent

Here are some photos and tweets from the day:
